The walleye has been Minnesota's official state fish since 1965.
A walleye fillet threaded on a skewer, lightly breaded and flash-fried, sold at the Minnesota State Fair; the same fish shows up in walleye sandwiches at stands and pubs.
Why it's made this way: Walleye is Minnesota's state fish and a prized catch, and deep-fried walleye on a stick is a Minnesota State Fair food.
